EMPOWERING EDUCATORS & INSPIRING GENERATIONS SINCE 2023

Great tips!!!!

I found these YEARS ago from First Grade Bangs and have used them every opportunity I can!

I was struggling a lot with having students use their strategies. I was seeing that it wasn’t *just* laziness but also not being sure what or where to highlight. It seemed that the whole passage was being highlighted. Not helpful.

Long story short, I made a few sets of these and started using them DAILY in small group! The kids loved them and were really starting to catch on to “what to highlight” and “when to highlight!”

For my own sanity, I keep the highlighters at my table. Many have come with their own set and had me help label them! That is GREAT!

I highly recommend using this strategy though! It has helped students want to use their strategies so much more! 

Comment HIGHLIGHTERS if you would like FREE download for the highlighters!

I will link the Sharpie Highlighters I use in the comments.
